 Paris - Notre Dame
IT was, then, into such an already thrilling environment of narrow streets, picturesque churches, and monastic dwellings that Maurice de Sully, fired with the ambition to build for posterity, introduced his unrecorded architect—who erected the oldest existing parts of the great cathedral.
This third entrance is thought to date, in its essential construction, from the XIIth century, to be contemporary with the apse, to be, in fine, the door which Maurice de Sully intended for the central portal of the primitive plan; while in its details it assembles some of the features of the earlier churches.
Though de Montfaucon admits the difficulty of recognizing the portraits with accuracy, he conjectures that the king holding the violin could readily be Chilperic, who, according to Gregoire de Tours, made hymns and chants for the church, and who considered himself some-what of a musician.

When Maurice de Sully was elected by the canons in 1160, the large movement of cathedral reconstruction had already begun.
One can think that the canons chose Maurice de Sully as the new bishop not only because he was gifted as a pastor, thus following King Louis VII advice, but also because of his project of rebuilding the cathedral: though the old Saint Steven cathedral had been repaired, it still looked old fashioned.
Influenced by the new Chartres Cathedral, he abandoned the drum columns and replaced them with columns surrounded with a cluster of shafts, but he did not interrupt the unity of the covering and went on building sexpartite vaults, though elsewhere, some master builders began to elevate quadripartite vaults on a rectangular plan.

Notre Dame is the work of Maurice de Sully, bishop of Paris from 1160 to 1196 who, inspired by Abbot Suger, builder of St. Denis, desired to present his city with a cathedral which would do it honor.
The general plan, containing a transept which divides the interior into a nave and a chevet of nearly equal proportion, with a tripartite division of nave and chevet which is reflected in the articulation of the facade, became the prototype for all the great gothic structures which came after it.
The principal modifications of the 13th and 14th centuries concern the windows of the nave, which were enlarged, and the numerous chapels added between the buttresses.
